The professional for adhesives and sealants

History

The history of Bostik begins in the United States in the 1930’s. Originally it produced adhesives aimed at gluing rubber soles to leather uppers of military shoes.

In the 50s, the mass production of furniture and kitchens with plastic laminate required professional adhesives therefore enhancing the brand Bostik. In the 60’s, Bostik became an independent company in Italy, becoming property of Boston SpA. Twenty years later, the company opened up to consumers, offering packs suitable for DIY. It was the first company in Italy to enter the consumer market.

In the early 90s, the Bostik brand was acquired by Henkel and than again by Misal Arexons in 2002.
Turning point
Four years later, Bostik reached a turning point when it was acquired by Bolton Group, turning it into the main brand of Bolton Adhesives in Italy. In 2009, Bostik took over Bison on the Italian market, witch let to the establishment of UHU BOSTIK SpA. 2010 marked the year of professional sealants, with the launch of a wide range of products for the professional market, confirming itself as a key brand in the industry.
